Ever wondered why racism is still an issue in America and we can’t get past it? Civil right laws have been passed, integration has come, and equal opportunity seems abundant, but why does racism continue to plague the fabric of America?

These workshops are designed for anyone who is ready to go a step beyond traditional diversity training and really discover how racism shapes our thinking, communities, institutions, and conscious/unconscious behaviors. By understanding what’s at the core of racism, participants can began to unlearn it and dismantle this very real problem in America.

"Internalized racism is the conscious and unconscious incorporation and acceptance of all the negative stereotypes and images from media, folklore, accounts of history that define persons of color as inferior. Internalized racism supports the notion that White is right, White is superior, and in fact, White is the standard. All of this can lead to a dangerous and self-destructive love affair.” – Gerald Cunningham

The first workshop will ask the question: What impact has years of oppression really done to Black AND White America? It will feature a presentation by Dr. Jeff Menzise.
